Binding tight and solid. In order that the novice may, early in his study of gunnery, learn the fact that the hand gun is something more than a mere efficient machine of wood and metal, emphasis has been laid, so far as the limits of the book would allow, upon the vital infuence which firearms have had upon the lives of men. The gun is really a great human institution, an intimate knowledge of which is necessary to the understanding of history. If this book helps to inspire more reverence for our venerable weapon friend, its main purpose will be achieved. E-333; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
